Case study

Top Spin 4 Recomp: a native Xbox 360 game port

Top Spin 4 Recomp ports the Xbox 360 game Top Spin 4 to Windows through ahead-of-time translation of its PowerPC code with ReXGlue. A game-specific renderer maps its Direct3D 9 calls to Vulkan, and a launcher prepares files from the user’s disc image and Title Update 1. The author reports working exhibition, career, academy, and local multiplayer modes.
